As women who spend so much time meeting the needs of others and the demands of the world, we sometimes get so far away from ever stopping to ask what do I want, what do I need, who am I? Who has time for that, right?

So days, months, and years go by. You plan your goals, make your resolutions for the New Year, and then a few weeks in, you discover so much of what you had on that list has been forgotten in the vast space you call life. Living in the urgent, you don’t take time, or make time, to just be. [Read more…]

Leaving 2016 has been a time of reflection. Looking back at the memories, the challenges, the pleasure and pain of last year shows me what I want more of and definitely what I want to be different.

You may have had a difficult year with illnesses, death, financial problems, family troubles, etc. My dear aunt passed a week ago and I made an unplanned trip to the west coast to celebrate her life with family and her many friends. It was a different kind of Christmas season. [Read more…]

Vision Boards have been around a long time. The concept around collecting images or drawings or words that evoke feelings or that make you think of something you desire in your life is that when you have these images before you every day, your subconscious will work hard to bring them into reality.

What are you doing right now in your everyday that is keeping you from living a most fulfilled life—the life you were created for?
Someone said we can’t get to the important things because we’re so stuck in the “thick of thin things.” (Bil Cornelius) Thin things are the commitments, habits and other areas you consistently say “yes” to when you really need to say “no.” [Read more…]

One of the most difficult lessons I learned about life was that giving, giving and giving without taking care of yourself, will not only leave you burned out from trying to consistently do all that needs to be done and whacked-out from the anxiety of trying, you will get to a place in your life where you finally give up and give in. You might ask yourself like I did, “What happened? Where am I, Who am I, Is this it?” Will it ever be any different? Any better?

Dreams? What dreams, I was too wrapped up in taking care of everything and everyone; there was no time to dream. And this only led to self-pity, feeling victimized, resentful—unable to see a different way of life. [Read more…]

Is it time TAKE BACK YOUR LIFE?

If you can answer “yes” to two or more of these questions, then you may be a woman who is living in chaos—in your mind, in your life-- over-scheduled, over-committed and overwhelmed— a woman who does too much and can’t figure out how to make it all work.

Do you find yourself:

Anxious, stressed-out more often than not?

Just coping with the demands of the everyday, on auto-pilot?

Often forgetting appointments/birthdays, etc.

Unable to sleep or once you get to sleep; you wake up with roaming thoughts?

Looking like you have it together but deep inside you know it isn’t working?

Involved in areas or activities that drain your energy?

Engaging in unhealthy behaviors—overeating, overdrinking, over-shopping to find relief from what has become your life and your inability to change it?

Unable to control others or situations, leaving you frustrated and sad?

Filled with guilt because you “should be” “fill in the blank” and “shouldn’t be” “fill-in-the-blank” (doing, feeling, acting this way)

With a diagnosis of a stress-related dis-ease?

Are you ready to stop settling? To stop "just dealing with it"? To stop coping? Are you ready to Take Back Your Life and become a vibrant, healthy, joy-filled woman—the one you were created to be?
